Evernote Web Gets File Drag and Drop in Chrome and Safari

Every so often our engineers introduce a feature that has me staring at my screen slack-jawed, wondering how in the world that sort of magic is even possible. Today, is one of those days. Evernote Web now lets you drag and drop files from your desktop into notes when using Google Chrome or Safari.

No way?!? That’s so cool.

You have two options:

Grab a file from your desktop and drag and drop it onto a notebook in the left-hand notebook panel. This will create a new note containing just that file.

Open a new note and drag the file into the note. When you drag the file over the note, you will see a green bar appear along the top of the note. Drop it on that green bar.

Don’t forget, free users can attach images, audio, and PDFs. Premium users can attach any file type, up to 50MB.

Sharing and collaboration

Evernote Web allows you to share your notebooks with individuals or the world. Evernote Premium users can grant others the right to edit notes in these shared notebooks. The drag and drop feature works for these shared notebook, as well. Learn more about our sharing features here.

Other browsers

We currently support Google Chrome and Safari. We will try to enable these features in other popular browsers once more advanced versions of those browser are released.

@Vladimur: Every run a wiki or blog online? Your shared notebook would be a bot magnet — you’d most likely have a notebook full of spam before you could blink. IMO it makes sense to just have people quickly register / login before manipulating notebooks. …or maybe I misunderstood your meaning?

I will not touch EverNote again before they implement a way to get notes out of the pogram the easy way. All improvements are always to tie the user to the software not to give him the best access to his notes.

Sad that you haven’t been giving Firefox much love lately. I hope you will implement this feature soon for us (Firefox users) soon… I really see no reason why you need to wait for an update in the browser when many other sites are already doing it (like Box or even Gmail).
As much as you may like Chrome and it’s Webkit relatives, Firefox is still by far the most widely used browser behind Internet Explorer. And despite all the buzz about Chrome we have heard during the last years, it’s still way behind even coming close to Firefox for the foreseeable future. I would think you’d be more focused on bringing these kind of features to the most widely used browsers first.

Agree with other posters–please don’t neglect Firefox. The kind of user that appreciates what EN has to offer is exactly the kind of user that appreciates the vast extensibility (addons, etc.) that Firefox offers.

Its been a year since the feature became available so where is the FireFox Support! You guys said “We will try to enable these features in other popular browsers once more advanced versions of those browser are released.” Well Firefox 4 is out and better then ever! Tried Safari, Tried Chrome and they cant compare to Firefox. Please update us on when there is going to be Firefox support.

I just downloaded this to my Macbook Pro, my Ipad2, and my Android Tbolt and now I see that Firefox is not supported????Where are the replies to all of us Firefox users…I think it would be courteous to at least respond, especially if you want to interest people in the upgraded version.
